Višegrad (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (AFP) – Bosnia’s Orthodox Christians take part in a swimming race in the River Drina to mark Epiphany, which in the Orthodox tradition celebrates Jesus Christ’s baptism in the River Jordan. “It’s a great honour for me,” one swimmer tells AFP, adding that the feeling was “impossible to put into words”.
